Our First Darwin Award Nominees of 2008

I don't think these guys really thought this out:

“Two southern New Mexico men are recovering after accidentally shooting themselves while trying to trace a loaded .357-caliber Magnum as a pattern for a tattoo.

The Otero County Sheriff’s Department identified the men as Robert Glasser and Joey Acosta. Both are 22.

The sheriff’s department says deputies responded to the shooting in Chaparral on Thursday evening, but Glasser and Acosta were already on their way to a hospital in nearby El Paso. Authorities say Glasser was struck in the hand when the gun accidentally went off. Acosta was hit in the left arm. The injuries were non-life threatening.”

Now they'll have authentic bullet wounds to go with their tattoos.
